How To Use Captin Tolly
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to remove existing sealants before applying it?
Unlike conventional sealants it’s not necessary, as the sealant will penetrate cracks regardless of the materials involved
Is it affected by contact with other chemicals?
It has good chemical resistance. Once cured, the sealant is unaffected by most everyday chemicals
Can I paint over it?
It can be painted over successfully since so little of the sealant is exposed to the surface
Is it effected by sunlight?
No. The area exposed to sunlight is so small that it doesnu2019t present a problem
Is it toxic?
No. Unlike many sealants and glues it is water-based and non-toxic
How long does it take to cure?
It depends on the size of the repair, however, we recommend leave a 24-hour period for sealing to be on the safe side. The exposed edges of the sealant dry first; the sealant in the interior takes a little longer
How large can the crack be?
Captain Tolley's will only work on cracks and gaps approximately less than 1mm in width. Anything larger than this, then the capillary action formula wonu2019t work.
How do I remove Captain Tolley’s if I spill it?
Remove from hard surfaces with white spirit or methylated spirits
Can you apply whilst the area is damp?
It’s optimal if the area is as dry as possible, but captain tolley’s will still work with a small degree of moisture present
